Jabbasport dogbone mount Fabia VRS

ultra_joel88 · 06-07-2008, 11:01

Hi there. I was just wondering if we are finding the standard bush too hard can it be drilled by ourserlves? How many holes should be drilled and what size?

VeeKar · 06-07-2008, 21:47

I got a seperate 'diesel' bush sent from Vibra Technics for mine.
When I first fit it onto the car it was sweet but got really awful after a while so took it off.
Its there for special occasions now.

ultra_joel88 · 06-07-2008, 21:58

Are the vibrations really that bad? Even with the softer bush?

VeeKar · 07-07-2008, 11:49

If you're sat in traffic a lot or round town like what I am then yes it really is that bad but if you use car for fun etc you'll be ok.

I recently fitted the softer (6 holes drilled) bush to my Fabia and the vibration is barely noticeable. Infact I don't notice it at all now, it just gentle vibration through the steering wheel at idle when I got it.

ultra_joel88 · 07-07-2008, 18:28

What difference does it make to the gearchange? I am currently getting a "clonk" when changing into 3rd and 4th quickly.

VeeKar · 09-07-2008, 21:22

Gearchange is much better, no movement felt but that's not to say it will cure your 'clonk'
Only one way to find out

symonevans · 21-07-2008, 11:58

Its fvckin bad man. Fitted mine yesterday!! Cant wait to drill it

oilburninnut · 24-07-2008, 21:00

mines been on for 7000 miles with the hardcore bush on whats up with you homo's? If you can't take the compromises don't mod it hardcore all the way

devonutopia · 24-07-2008, 21:33

LOL @ Gary. I'm the same. I love mine now and would never go back to stock, or even try to make my current one any more supple. It's there for the sole purpose of holding that damn lump of a gearbox rock steady, and it does it well.

Kaiserb_uk · 24-07-2008, 21:39

I've just given up with the damn thing and ordered a new standard mount - if anything I think the 'softer' bush was actually worse once it wore in. My rear window nearly shakes loose every time I pull away it's that bad.

How much are these to purchase new? What is needed to fit them?

Jabbasport · 28-07-2008, 14:20

We're selling them for £115 inc VAT

Nothing needed to fit them, they replace the standard item

T. Spark · 28-07-2008, 15:43

Pretty good, what gains as such are seen? I already have the suspension set up with coilovers, diff, F/R arbs (rear from jabba!)

Jabbasport · 29-07-2008, 09:20

Virtually no fore/aft movement in engine, which makes launches and gearchanges better as you're not waiting for the engine to move.

Just like you run stiffer suspension/anti-rollbars so that there's less body roll so the car turns in quicker.

DeanVRS · 01-08-2008, 15:10

how easy are they 2 fit ?

oilburninnut · 01-08-2008, 17:12

undertray off,think its 3 bolts off with the old on with the new,someone who's never seen a car or a spanner could have it done in 15 minutes
